We go over

1. AI and Journaling: Charlie uses Reflect to transcribe his thoughts while he’s on his morning walk. It’s helped him reduce the friction of journaling.
2. Deep Work: “ I go for a walk and I do some journaling, which we'll talk about in a little bit here. I come back home. I do some deep work until I get to lunchtime.”
3. Keeping Track of Meetings, Book Quotes, & Interesting Podcasts: The Readwise app helps Charlie keep track of everything he reads and listens to.
4. Interesting AI Use Cases: Chatting with notes, journal prompts, and speech to text

And so much more.
